Super-complaint from the Tees Valley Inclusion Project about the police response to victims of sexual abuse from ethnic minority backgrounds who may be at risk of honour-based abuse.

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), the College of Policing and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) have published a report in response to the super-complaint submitted by the Tees Valley Inclusion Project.  The super-complaint raised concerns about how police forces in England and Wales respond to victims of sexual abuse from ethnic minority backgrounds who may be at risk of honour-based abuse.

Following an investigation, we have made recommendations to chief constables, police and crime commissioners or equivalents, and the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
